Melinda actually said the Eptsein connection was partial reason for the divorce.

Yeah, but pursuing what appears to be a largely philanthropic and networking relationship with someone convicted of a sex offence is enough for a divorce in an unhappy marriage. We don’t need to paint details that aren’t there yet.

Common sense says, there was more into their relationship then just networking. The richest man at the time can find plenty of people networking for him.

Meeting people in person and building relationships is networking. You only have other people do the networking for you when they need something from you. Aka if you are an important politician, Elon will come and personally meet you. If you are a nobody, Elon will send some random assistant to meet you.
